Cause of the Accident.
ST. THOMAS, Ont, July lS,-The mum
Der killed IN the railroad accident yester-
day, is now placed at nineteen, and the
injured at about forty. After the collis-
ION occurred the passengers commenced
emerging from the car windows, every
available means of egress being taken
advantage of. A majority of the pas
sengers in the car next to the engine got
out. Engineer Donnelly was found in
his cab, with his hand still on the lever,
as if endeavoring to make the air brakes
work. TO add additional horror to the
already sufficiently appalling affair, the
section of freight train into which
the engine of the passenger
plounged, consisted of two cars
containing tanks filled with crude oil,
and one car loaded with barrels of re-
fined oil, and almost before the passen-
gers heard the crash of the collision, it
was followed by tremendous explosion
which could be heard for miles. pyra-
mid of red fire and black clouds turned
up in the air, and in moment sheets of
fire reached out and enveIoped the cars,
dwellings, and warehouses in the vicinity,

ST. Thomas, Ont, July l5.-A terrible
| accident occurred at the crossing of the
Grand Trunk and Michigan Central rail
| ways In this city, at about seven o'clock
ms evening. An excursion train on the
Grand Trunk, from Port Stanlv, ran in
to passing freight train on the NUchl-
| gau central, made up of a number of
cars laden with oil. The engine crashed
| INTO one of these cars. when the oil
instantly took fire and burned with great
| herceneSs, communicating TO the cars on
botn trains and extending to Griflius
| warehouse, coal and lime sheds adioip-
ing the track on the west. and John
| CampbellS dwelling on the cost, all of
Whlch were burned to the gISund with
their contents. Engineer DonneIly of
! the excursion train was buried in the
wreck. His fireman jumped and escaped
with slight Injuries. The forward car of
the excursion train was filled with pass
engers who made frantic efforts to es-
cape, but Notwithstanding hundreds of
| brave and willing hands we're ;mmedi-
ateIy set at work to assist / their
rescue, number of lives were
lost. At 5 O'Clock, when thousands of
people were crowding around She burn
ing pile, one of the oil tanks on the cars
suddenly exploded, throwing hundreds to
the ground with great force, and scatter
ing fire in all directions, severely, and
perhaps fatally, iniuring many. At $50
O'Clock nine bodies were taken out. They
were burned to crisp.
1t Is almost impossible to ascertain
with any certainty the names of those
lost IN the wreck, until the arrival of the
late train from Port Stanley. There are
many conflicting rumors, but it seems
almost certain that the engineer, H. Don
nelly, Mr.. Zealand, clerk in j. and A.
marlborough store, and wife and
child of James Smithers, dry goods
merchant, were burned to death. Mrs.
Zealand was gotten out badly burned.

made by the next congress. The people
have voted this way, and it will be SO.
Tho last congress, with forty democratic
majority, had half n dozen majority

next congress will not have over fifteen
democratic majority, and of course
clear majority in favor of cut

down the whisky and tobacco

The complaint of citizens of Hot
Springs, Ark, against the Richmond i
Dsnviiie Railroad company, alleging un-
Just discrimination and excessive passeu-
ger rates from Hot Springs to Unaka,
Ark, was heard before the interstate
commerce commission. The specific
complaint in the case was that 55 cents
was the fare charged from Hot Springs
to Unaka, distance of six miles. The
dispositions of number of witnesses
were read in support of the complaint.
The railroad company, through their at
torney, denied that the complaint was
well founded, and insisted that, if there
had ever been any foundation for it, it
had been corrected before this complaint
was made. The Richmond 4 DanviIle
road had sent out circular on the 10th
of last June reducing the rate from Hot
Springs to Unaka to so cents, but this had
not been acted upon by its connecting
line, the East Tennessee, Virginia i
Georgia road. Upon this statement of
facts the difficulty was virtually settled at
| headquarters by the Richmond Danville
company agreeing to refund to every
person who had paid this 55-cent fare the
difference between that amount and 80
cents. The commission holds the case
until informed that the agreement has
been carried out.
